Inf-Parallel-Strips-W0p5 — Parallel Plates

Geometry Class
Parallel Plates
Geometry Id
Inf Parallel Strips W0p5
Configuration Notes
2D Crossed-String (Hottel) method. W=0.5: F12=sqrt(1+4)-2=SQRT(5)-2=2.2361-2=0.2361. As W→inf F12→1; As W→0 F12→0. F21=F12 by Symmetry (equal Areas per Unit length).
Formula Expression
F12=sqrt(1+(1/W)^2)-(1/W); W=w/L
